BizTalk Server: Multiple XML files to Single FlatFile Using File Adapter - Configuring and testing

This post is part two of - BizTalk Server: Multiple XML files to Single FlatFile Using File Adapter

Configuring the application 

Receive Port

Receive Location

Send Port

Send pipeline: MXSFF (Custom flat file)

Destination URI

• File name: %SourceFileName%.txt (puts the value of the FILE.ReceivedFileName)
• Copy mode: Append (The file send handler opens a file if it exists and appends a message to the end of the file. If the file does not exist, the file send handler creates a new file)

So for example, when first message or batch of messages are received on date 10-11-2014 then new file will be created at destination location having 10-11-2014.txt and then after whatever messages are received until the end of date are appended to the same file. But a new file will be created for messages received on next day.

Configuring send pipeline (Flat file assembler)

Configuring Orchestration

Testing the application

To test the functionality of application, considered two test cases

Testcase 1: First files of the day

Input: Placed three sample files in XMLIN folder (input location)

Output: A file with today’s date was generated at FFOut (destination location)

Testcase 2: Rest files of the day

Input: Placed two sample files in XMLIN folder (input location)
Output: Records were appended to the existing file
